I've seen them run but this gives some of the work and design behind

Intereting how the engine only does a couple hundred turns down the
1/4 mile and the only thing that limits how much fuel they can burn -
and theretore how much power they can consume is the volume of the
combustionchamber. Another half a cc of Nitro based fuel and the
engine would hydro-loch and bend the rods and smash the pistons.
